[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fcps provides by service if you live more than a mile from school or on a dangerous walk route. I think that's reasonable.[/quote]

no.  It is a mile and a half (for middle and high school) and even if there aren't sidewalks -- too bad.  We almost bought a house that was over a mile to the MS, no sidewalks, dark for much of the school year at 7:00 a.m. (when 12 yr old would have to walk there) -- we cancelled the contract in large part b/c of the lack of busing.

I have friends in Va. Beach district and they live 1.5 BLOCKS from their middle school --they wanted to walk and were told they were not allowed to walk -- had to ride the bus b/c there weren't sidewalks for that 1.5 blocks!

In LCPS, elementary gets busing if it is more than 1/2 mi.  In high school it is .8 mi.  [/quote]

FCPS has many areas without sidewalks. If you want sidewalks in your neighborhoods, you will have to pay additional taxes to build them. The state just made it illegal for Fairfax to ask for proffers such as new sidewalk connections with new development, so you may want to fight the state on this issue as well.[/quote]
